Pros

Overall it is a good company that has a strong culture for internal development and can be very family friendly. Many divisions have more autonomy than what is found at other companies of similar size.

Cons

Disconnects between different departments can hurt overall atmosphere. Sometimes it can feel like each department is "out for itself."
